Summary
Description20111106 Egypt 0879 Thebes Deir el-Bahri.jpg |
English: Thebes is on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. Hidden in the mountains is the Valley of the Kings where King Tut's tomb was the 62nd royal tomb discovered there (by Howard Carter on 4 November 1922). Cameras are not allowed in the Valley. [Pyramids scream "Here I am! Loot me!" so pharaohs ultimately realized that secrecy is a better approach.]
This is the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, the only woman to rule as pharaoh (18th Dynasty, 1473-1458 BCE). On the Lower and Middle Terraces, she planted myrrh trees which were among the acquisitions she personally made on an expedition to the Land of Punt (thought to be modern-day Somalia), the most famous voyage in Ancient Egyptian history. In November 1997, Islamist terrorists shot or stabbed to death 58 tourists and four guards on the Middle Terrace. [In the late 1840's David Roberts published a lithograph of the Valley of the Kings. <a href="https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2002718694/" rel="nofollow">www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2002718694/</a> ] On Google Earth: Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut [Deir el-Bahri] 25°44'17.17"N, 32°36'25.27"E Valley of the Kings 25°44'24.58"N, 32°36'4.32"E |
